We have measured the stopping powers and straggling of fast, highly ionized atoms passing through thin bilayer targets made up of metals and insulators. We were surprised to find that the energy losses as well as the straggling depend on the ordering of the target and have small but significantly different values on bilayer reversal. We ascribe this newly found difference in energy loss to the surface energy loss field effect due to the differing surface wake fields as the beam exits the target in the two cases. This finding is validated with experiments using several different projectiles, velocities, and bilayer targets. Both partners of the diatomic molecular ions also display similar results. A comparison of the energy loss results with those of previous theoretical predictions for the surface wake potential for fast ions in solids supports the existence of a self-wake.

Measuring and understanding electric field noise from bulk material and surfaces is important for many areas of physics. In this work, we introduce a method to detect in situ different sources of electric field noise using a single trapped ion as a s
ensor. We demonstrate the probing of electric field noise as small as $S_E = 5.2(11)times 10^{-16},text{V}^2text{m}^{-2}text{Hz}^{-1}$, the lowest noise level observed with a trapped ion to our knowledge. Our setup incorporates a controllable noise source utilizing a high-temperature superconductor. This element allows us, first, to benchmark and validate the sensitivity of our probe. Second, to probe non-invasively bulk properties of the superconductor, observing for the first time a superconducting transition with an ion. For temperatures below the transition, we use our setup to assess different surface noise processes. The measured noise shows a crossover regime in the frequency domain, which cannot be explained by existing surface noise models. Our results open perspectives for new models in surface science and pave the way to test them experimentally.
Parylenes are barrier materials employed as protective layers. However, many parylenes are unsuitable for applications under harsh conditions. A new material, parylene F, demonstrates considerable potential for a wide range of applications due to its
high temperature and UV resistance. For the first time, the wettability and surface energy of parylene F were investigated to determine the feasibility of parylene F as an alternative to the commonly employed parylene C. The results show that parylene F has a hydrophobic surface with a water contact angle of 109.63 degrees. We found that 3.5 ul probe liquid is an optimal value for the contact angle measurement of parylene F. Moreover, we found that the Owens-Wendt-Kaelble and the Lifshitz-van der Waals/acid-base approaches are unsuitable for determining the surface energy of parylene F, whereas an approach based on the limitless liquid-solid interface wetting system is compatible. Furthermore, the results show that parylene F has a surface energy of 39.05 mJ/m2. Considering the improved resistance, relatively low cost, and the desirable properties, parylene F can replace parylene C for applications under harsh conditions.
Surface stress and surface energy are two fundamental parameters that determine the surface properties of any material. While it is commonly believed that the surface stress and surface energy of liquids are identical, the relationship between the tw
o parameters in soft polymeric gels remains debatable. In this work, we measured the surface stress and surface energy of soft silicone gels with varying crosslinking densities in soft wetting experiments. Above a critical crosslink density, $k_0$, the surface stress is found to increase significantly with crosslinking density while the surface energy, by contrast, remains unchanged. In this regime, we can estimate a non-zero surface elastic modulus that also increases with the ratio of crosslinkers. By comparing the surface mechanics of the soft gels to their bulk rheology, the surface properties near the critical density $k_0$ are found to be closely related to the underlying percolation transition of the polymer networks.
We have used ion-irradiation to damage the (001) surfaces of SmB_6 single crystals to varying depths, and have measured the resistivity as a function of temperature for each depth of damage. We observe a reduction in the residual resistivity with inc
reasing depth of damage. Our data are consistent with a model in which the surface state is not destroyed by the ion-irradiation, but instead the damaged layer is poorly conducting and the initial surface state is reconstructed below the damage. This behavior is consistent with a surface state that is topologically protected.
For many quantum information implementations with trapped ions, effective shuttling operations are important. Here we discuss the efficient separation and recombination of ions in surface ion trap geometries. The maximum speed of separation and recom
bination of trapped ions for adiabatic shuttling operations depends on the secular frequencies the trapped ion experiences in the process. Higher secular frequencies during the transportation processes can be achieved by optimising trap geometries. We show how two different arrangements of segmented static potential electrodes in surface ion traps can be optimised for fast ion separation or recombination processes. We also solve the equations of motion for the ion dynamics during the separation process and illustrate important considerations that need to be taken into account to make the process adiabatic.
